GNC 100% whey

roni0906 Posts: 1,008 Joined: 2002/01/24	2002/07/02, 08:38 PM Has anyone tried the GNC 100% whey. I just started taking it. It cost almost half of what nitrotech does and the lady at the store said she had good reviews on it. Any comments would be appreciated. ---------------------------- Lisa

So far as different whey products, I've tried EAS Simply Whey, ISS Research Whey Matrix, HDT 5 plus 1 and Nitro-Tech. The best tasting IMO has been EAS Simply Whey and Nitro-Tech. Simply Whey, Whey Matrix and 5 plus 1 all cost less than half of Nitro-Tech. The 5 plus 1 was the cheapest (6-pound tub for $26), but doesn't taste all that great. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

I have heard that soy isnt all that great, but at least i feel that it is better tasting than whey. I am a vegetarian, so i feel i dont get enough protein in my diet. Which is the best tasting whey out there? Is there some way i can get my whey into my diet without having to drink a shake? I dont like anything sweet, and the one i am using currently is way too sweet for my taste buds. Could you help me out? Thanks!

I have an Excel spreadsheet if you want it that shows all the data. Warning - Do NOT just go on price - there are other things to consider, like the amount of servings you get total and the amount of protein in each serving. It might sound great if you pay $15 for a tub, but if that tub only has 14 servings and if you are only getting 10g of protein in each serving, that is a very expensive tub of fillers :-) That's just an example, but hopefully, you get the idea. Don't get hung up solely on the price tag - compare the nutrition labels carefully. I first purchased GNC 100% Whey as my first purchase, before I did the price comparision. GNC was middle of the road when comparing against other products - but I like the taste (I'm a vanilla flavor kind of guy :-). Here's a tip - Always buy in bulk! It is always cheaper to buy the 5+ lb tubs, as opposed to the smaller tubs. After my comparisions, I selected Champion's Pure Whey Protein Stack.
